VBScript to start Firefox with profile

My OS is XP-Pro SP3

I use the two command lines below to start Firefox with a desired profile.

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p STEVE

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p JANE


This script will start Firefox using the default profile:
Code:
  sub shell(cmd)
    dim objShell
    Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
    objShell.Run(cmd)
    Set objShell = Nothing
    end sub

    shell """C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"""

How can I edit this line
Code:
    shell """C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"""


to start Firefox with the desired profiles?

I have tried this line
Code:
    shell """C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"" ""--no-remote -p JANE"""


But the script still starts Firefox with the default profile.

I appreciate any help given to me. Thanks

My question was answered here:

This is what worked:

STEVE.vbs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sub shell(cmd)
dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
objShell.Run(cmd)
Set objShell = Nothing
end sub

shell """C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox\firefox.exe"" --p STEVE"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



JANE.vbs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sub shell(cmd)
dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
objShell.Run(cmd)
Set objShell = Nothing
end sub

shell """C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox\firefox.exe"" --no-remote -p JANE"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The modifications given to me by "Razor2.3" at that forum worked perfectly.
